GC Fuji IX ART

About

GC Fuji IX ART is a purpose designed conventional setting glass ionomer cement for restoring posterior cavities using the ART technique. The kit contains powder & liquid for hand mixing of the cement as well as varnish to protect the cement once manipulated and in place. The Fuji IX liquid also functions as a cavity conditioner which is used prior to placement to ensure optimum chemical bonding of the restoration to the cavity walls.

Advantages

Strontium based glass ionomer

For good radiopacity and snapset characteristics

Strontium will mimic calcium in the formation of strontium hydroxyapatite and strontium fluoroapatite to affect internal remineralization within the tooth structure

Research has shown that a strontium-based glass ionomer placed in calcium-containing environment (saliva) will result in calcium ion diffusing into the glass ionomer surface achieving a surface strengthening effect
